It has been about 2 weeks since i upgraded ubuntu 17.10 to 18.04.
This brought a bunch of problems (like freezing, black startup screen, login loops), i found other people associate with the NVIDIA driver.
I have tried every solution i could find (without any progress) and now it's like not seeing the forest for the trees.



I have an Acer Aspire 7 laptop with NVIDIA GeForce 1050.
As far as i know, the proprietary driver 384.111 seemed to work on 17.10, but each time after i upgrade from there, it disapears.
I have tried to install this driver, and a few other, but all give the same error:



ERROR: Unable to load the 'nvidia-drm' kernel module


Going from the log, i seem to get the same warning everytime when it's installing 'NVIDIA Acelerated Grahics Driver for Linux-x86_64':



/sbin.ldconfig.real: Warning: ignoring configuration file that cannot be opened: /etc/ld.so/conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_EGL.conf: No such file or directory
/sbin.ldconfig.real: Warning: ignoring configuration file that cannot be opened: /etc/ld.so/conf.d/i386-linux-gnu_GL.conf: No such file or directory


That is the only lead i have as far as i can think of.
How can i go on from this?

  • Try askubuntu.com/a/1030901/231142 where the driver install for 18.04 is the last half of the answer.

  • While it does seem to install the driver properly, when i enter the command: nvidia-smi, i get the error: NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

  • Make sure that dkms is installed on your system. Also, according to devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1028367/linux/… it looks as though the nvidia-drm failing to load might need adding acpi_osi=Linux to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line in the /etc/default/grub file.
